Pushed by ahiemstra into branch 'master'. faces/piechart: Use GraphicalEffects.Glow for rendering outline of compact text Apparently using style Text.Outline leads to some pretty bad text rendering. So instead use Glow from GraphicalEffects to achieve a similar effect but one that's smoother. Unfortunately this uses deprecated API because MultiEffect turns out to be completely unusable.

Created attachment 174660 [details] Before vs After SUMMARY After updating to Plasma 6.2, system monitor widgets have text that is both unusually bold and very badly rendered. OBSERVED RESULT Widget text is displayed with its own unique font, thickness, and subpixel rendering (or lack thereof). EXPECTED RESULT Widget text is displayed similarly to the clock's text.
